Nutrition & Dietetics

Food provides energy for our daily activities and nutrients for health and general well-being. At different stages of our lives (eg. infancy, childhood, adolescence, adulthood, pregnancy and during periods of illness), our nutrient requirements differ and we need to modify our food intake according to our nutritional needs.

We believe that eating should be enjoyable at all stages of life and even during times of illness, as food and eating are very much part of our culture and daily routine.

The public through public forums, community talks and contributions to the mass media

We are also committed in providing clinical dietetics training for both qualified and aspiring dietitians. Clinical and observational attachments are available for students and healthcare professionals (more information is available on our KKH website).

How to obtain a referral to the dietitian?

If you or your child is seeing a KKH doctor, you may request a referral to the dietitian from your doctor.

Once you have a referral, please call +65 6394 1640/1641 for an appointment to see the dietitian. If you are at an outpatient clinic in KKH, our clinic assistant can help to arrange an appointment for you.
